Abstract:L-shell x-ray production cross sections by proton and 4 He ion impact on Hg and Tl (of great importance from the biological point of view, owing to their moderate toxicity properties) have been measured in the energy ranges 0.3 E p 2.6 MeV and 0.7 E4 He 1.8 MeV, respectively. L-subshell ionization cross sections have been extracted and arranged, together with the few existing data from other laboratories, in an analysis aimed at testing the performance of various theoretical approximations in the description o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
